Not a bad result..

Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

I an really trying to like the M35, but that arse end is so ugly. If someone was to make adecent rear lights kit, like was done for Commonwhores, I may be tempted. Front and side, AOK, but...........

I have bBenny,s pic as my desktop.

Actually, if you have a decent looking rear muffler and drop the car ~25mm.... the rear can look alright.

If you don't like the Volvo lights, just get a reflector cover kit (Yahoo Auctions/Import Monster) or take the whole light of and paint it yourself.

Here is a 2002 Axis with top reflector covers

And here is the Pond M35 rear... rear bumper and full reflector cover kit.

Nissan made the arse end like that just to keep the cops off my back. Works a treat, even with a 3 inch straight through exhaust.

Just gotta get some Volvo badges for the back and I will be in the clear.

You could always paint the top part of the lights to match the car...

;) .... for now

I've noticed that a lot (possibly all?) M35's have the stereo controls moulded into the centre console set up as opposed to the old swappable DIN system.

I'm assuming the radio frequency range still cuts out too low on the FM band like other imports.

What are the options for replacing the stereo?

What do most people do?

Andrew, if you do not want the integrated setup that you have seen in the ARX, get an RS.

You will be hard pressed to find an RS with all the goodies, but it is the only option without the integrated unit.

RX, ARX and Axis al have the integrated unit and all RS's have the separate Clarion unit with 3 gauge DIN.

I am sure that you can always change the headunit over and connect it up with the integrated unit though.

OK

Is there a common work-around or fix for the radio in the integrated unit?

V35 FAQ

See what Chris has posted regarding the BOSE unit. I presume it is the same for the standard integrated headunit, but maybe fire him off a PM to make sure what is involved in changing it.

Yes, no, yes.

Upgraded front bar on it's way, as is the bonnet... and I have the lights that you do so love.

I bet you have every thing crossed that it will all line up this time....LOL :)

i know where there is a PM35 we can get the parts from cam :ph34r:

Nah, dark blue is not my colour....

Besides Ben was willing to sell be a PM35 bonnet, but the price was NOT right.

I bet you have every thing crossed that it will all line up this time....LOL :rant:

It will. The bonnet was the only issue.......... :) ...... I hope......

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
